Most have concluded that they would wear the tie at the bottom of the neck, because that’s where a human wears a tie. And a dress shirt goes to the bottom of the neck, so if a tie is placed under the collar, the answer would have to be the bottom of the neck.

My colleague Ted Berg brings up a rather compelling counterpoint: Maybe they make different shirts for giraffes.

It’s an interesting theory, but has been debunked by this very scientific photo of a giraffe wearing a collared shirt:

Giraffes clearly wear the same shirts as humans.

The top-of-the-neck crowd — there a few of these radical thinkers out there — says that placing the tie at the bottom of the neck makes for an unprofessional look:

Top looks more professional whereas the bottom looks more like a chillen after 6 hours into the shift https://t.co/wi9V8vN4vv

They have a point. If the giraffe is wearing the tie without a shirt, the top of the neck look is preferred. But what kind of establishment is this giraffe working at where it can get away with not wearing a shirt? Unless it’s a Chippendales dancer, that look is completely unprofessional.

A dress shirt stretching to the top of his neck just doesn’t make sense from a logistical standpoint, and nothing would look more unprofessional than wearing a tie outside the confines of the shirt. The bottom of the neck is really the only option.

That’s just my two cents. What do you think? Vote in our very important poll.

The internet is locked in an intense debate on how a giraffe would wear a neck tie

What’s your take?
